The role of a lifetime... Costume assistant, Beth Perkins, is in for the worst Christmas ever. Her actor boyfriend landed his dream job, only to end their relationship and have her banned from the set of her costuming gig. Within twenty-four hours, Beth finds herself homeless, boyfriend-less, jobless, and too ashamed to go home to Summerville, Georgia for the holiday. Thank goodness for her scholarship to Cupid Island. Beth is determined to make the most of her week in paradise, but she's not interested in romance, especially if it comes calling in the form of Hollywood's Sexiest Man Alive. She's done with actors, once and for all. Superstar Tanner Bryson is sick of the Hollywood machine. He longs for a more authentic life, and a connection with someone who loves him for who he really is. The second he pulls Beth Perkins from the sea--rescuing her from death by giant fish--Tanner feels the same connection he felt when she took his measurements weeks before. Tanner convinces Beth to give him a chance at her heart, but when Tanner's Hollywood life intrudes, will Tanner and Beth's newfound island love have what it takes to last in the real world? Fans of Bella Andre, Kristan Higgins, and Susan Mallery will love the Escape to You novellas featuring friends and coworkers who find love and passion in paradise.
